An absolute menace in Tuscaloosa, C.J. Mosley may have been the best linebacker Nick Saban has ever coached at Alabama. After racking up multiple years of success for the Crimson Tide, Mosley was taken by Ozzie Newsome’s Baltimore Ravens with the 17th overall pick in 2014.

In his first three seasons since entering the league, C.J. Mosley has put up some beautiful numbers. He tallied 232 total tackles, seven sacks, three forced fumbles, six interceptions, and 23 pass deflections. He was named to the NFL’s All-Rookie Team in his first year and has been selected to two Pro Bowls.
